What makes a good REEdI Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineer?

Focus

Having good attention to detail is important for engineers. Focus helps to make sure that the job gets done correctly, safely and on time.

You will be working with people at all levels. It is important to be able to effectively communicate with them.

Engineers are excellent problem solvers. They like trying to figure things out.

You will work with other engineers and non-engineers on projects. You will share ideas and work together to reach a common goal.

As Engineers you will work to solve problems for people. Therefore it is important that your work in an ethical manner, to keep everyone safe. This is really about the obligations engineers have to society, to their clients, and to the profession.

Engineers must be able to think quickly and use what they have available to them to solve problems. It’s about being able to think outside the box and applying your knowledge in many different practical and resourceful ways.

This is a key ingredient for coming up with innovative ideas to develop innovative products and services. Engineers constantly want to know how they can make things better.

Science, Technology, Engineering and Math ‘s. These are the subjects that fuel the mind of engineers!
